heavy blow一个沉重的打击。7a根据下文“we had rented for the summer”可知a项正确。句意：现在“我们”的钱都用来租货摊8b钱都用来买原材料了，所以都被捆绑住了。tie up此处意为“投放(钱、资金、储蓄等)使不能移作他用”。9b句意：因此，“我们”没有足够的钱来供应每个月的花销。cover此处意为“负担、支付(费用)”。10b这里指面对不利情况，“我们”要做的选择。11aa fresh start重新开始。12c失败并不意味着跌倒，而意味着一直往下跌。stay此处意为“保持(的状态)”。13c根据文章语境可知c项正确。这些话使“我们”更加坚定信心。14c句意：“我们”是跌倒了，但“我们”绝不会一直往下跌！be determined to do sth决心做某事。15c根据前文的“钱都花在买原材料上了”可知c项正确。16bpay bills支付账单。17d句意：如果“我们”什么都不做，如果“我们”放任自己一直往下跌，“我们”就真的失败了。18a句意：但是，“我们”选择从错误中吸取教训，然后更加坚定地前进。19c句意：这些话给了“失败”更好的诠释有机会重新开始！20d事情完全取决于你对失败的看法，取决于你是否决定任其下跌。阅读理解。awareness weeks （认知宣传周）have become a regular part of britains cultural landscape over the past few years . they started back in 1957, when one charity （慈善机构）, christian aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. it was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.they were right, and soon other charities and campaign （活动）groups followed them. these days , most donations（捐款）to charity are not collected on the streets. so instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support . they also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.there are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the uk. no week goes by without one group or another trying to make the british public aware of something, with most held in may or october.the danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical(不信任). take national smile week; it seems like a great idea. lets all make each others life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. but really its just a group of dentists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. its enough to make you want to start national forget about it week.“people feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says ms ormiston , who edits the awareness campaign register, a news letter which encourages people who run awareness weeks to become more aware of each other . “but 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”“theres still no official group for awareness campaigns,” says ms ormiston. “people can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets（经费）or their public relations machines allows .”this situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. this could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation(模仿) charity campaigns.but there is another way. maybe its time for national weak awareness week, especially for people whose awareness of awareness weeks is weak.1. whats the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in britain?a. to raise money for charities.b. to spread knowledge of charities.c. to take up marketing campaigns.d. to advertise their goods for sale. 答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。从第一段第二句话 “decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year.”可知，答案为a。2. why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks?a. too many awareness weeks make people feel bored.b. people feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.c. people have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.d. awareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised. 答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。第四段中提到了人们开始对认知宣传周不满意，第五段中首句 “people feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises”可知，答案为b。3. what does ms ormiston think about awareness weeks?a. most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.b. official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.c. people can do what they like in awareness weeks.d. people can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。从第五段的最后一句话 “but 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”可知，答案为a。在第六段中ms ormiston提到认知宣传活动没有正式的群体（no official group for awareness campaigns），因而人们可以做他们想做的，不考虑到活动经费或者公共关系机器所允许的范围。故b，c，d都与文意不符。4. which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns?a. laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.b. there should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.c. business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place.d. marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.答案解析：答案为d。本题为推理题。从倒数第二段首句 “this situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns.”可知，要解决前面提到的问题就要制定法律来阻止真正的慈善活动被市场营销活动所过度遮蔽，言外之意就是市场营销活动不应在慈善活动的名义下进行。故答案为d。a选项与文意不符；b选项未提及。倒数第二段的第二句话 “this could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.”可知，文中提到了 “different times”，而非c 选项的 “not be held at the same place”, 故c选项不正确。5. whats the writers view on awareness weeks?a. national forget about it week should be held to stop awareness weeks.b. national smile week is a great idea to improve peoples life.c. national weak awareness week can help people better understand awareness weeks.d. awareness weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.答案解析：答案为c。本题考查作者的观点态度。最后一段中，作者提到 “maybe its time for national weak awareness week, especially for people whose awareness of awareness weeks is weak.”，由此可知，作者认为对那些认知宣传周意识薄弱的人要进行宣传，言外之意就是national weak awareness week可以帮助人们更好的理解认知宣传周。故答案为c。 a，b, d 都与文意不符。阅读理解【2014江西省抚州五校高三第六次联考】parents who are thinking of sending their children to private schools often weigh the advantages and disadvantages because not all people can afford to send their
